People who say they don't believe you.

I've no idea why people do this or what they are hoping to achieve from it. I just find it really rude and belligerent.

I've got people in my life who don't believe anything I say. They say it over the most stupid things and I'm not known as a liar.

Eg Do you shower every day?
Yes, I tend to shower every day
Even if you're not going out?
Yes
I don't believe you!

WTAF? How does this person know I don't? Who do they think they are to say they don't believe me? It's ridiculous. What are they getting from this? I'd never say that to someone, even if I didn't believe them.

What am I meant to do when someone says they don't believe me?

@Pyewhacket

Had this recently. I work in NHS Critical Care and a friend of mine asked me what it is like at the moment. When I told her she just said, " I'm sorry but I don't believe you ". I didn't know quite how to respond to that so I ended the call without saying anything.
Was this a case of someone not being able to conceive of how hard things actually are?

it would bloody piss me off double!
